This invention relates to a three-in-one shaving set which can beutilized as a shaving brush, razor and container for shaving powder.

An object of this invention is to provide a device which will enable aperson to shave with the use of one implement which will lather andshave the face without the necessity of having a separate brush andrazor.

Another object of this invention is to provide a device that isparticularly adapted for traveling purposes since it saves space andprovides in a unitary structure, a device which will supplant underordinary circumstances three separate and distinct articles.

With these and other objects and advantages in view, the inventionconsists of the novel details of construction, arrangement andcombination of parts more fully hereinafter described, claimed andillustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure l is a vertical section of an embodiment of the invention;

Figure 2 is a top plan view thereof with the cap in place;

Figure 3 is a detailed view of the rod guide and support;

Figure 4 is a side view of Figure 2;

Figure 5 is a top View with the cap removed, and

Figure 6 is a plan view of the razor blade.

Referring more in detail to the drawings, the reference numeral Illdesignates the tubular handle member having an internally threadedshoulder I2 at the open top end thereof and a conical discharge mouth ornozzle I 4 at the closed bottom thereof which is surrounded by therecess I6 formed by the depending flange I8. Bristle tufts 28 aresecured in the recess I6 by any conventional means and surround thenozzle I4 on the outside thereof.

The handle Il! may be made of plastic or metal and is adapted to holdshaving powder therein.

The top I2 is closed by a closure nut 22 having the depending externallythreaded portion 24, an outwardly and downwardly inclined flange 26which is cut at six straight sides and edges 28 to form a hexagon and amedial recess 30 having a conical apertured projection 32 formed at thecenter thereof.

A conical valve 34 positioned at the opening of the nozzle Iii has anactuating rod 36 connected thereto which passes through the aperturedconical projection 32 and has a knob or nut 38 threaded on the endthereof. A spring 39 positioned in the recess 38 abuts the knob 38 andmaintains the valve 34 in closed position at all times.

A cross shaped guide and rod support 4!) is positioned at the bottom ofthe handle member I8 and the rod 36 passes through the apertured hub 42formed at the center of the support 48.

The ange 26 is provided with razor blade receiving recesses 44 housingthe razor receiving lugs 46 and the razor guard forming teeth 48. Arazor blade 58 as shown in Figure 6 is secured in place by means of thelugs 46 and a plate 52 positioned on the blade 58 and retained in placeby the nut 54 provides a razor when the blade 50 is in alignment withthe cutout 56 in the cap 58. The nut 54 being threadably connected tothe externally threaded projection 60 of the nut 22 is received in themedial opening 62 of the cap 58 so that the cap 58 can be rotated aroundthe nut to gain access to each blade as desired.

In operation, the knob 38 is pressed inward to allow soap powder toenter the bristle tufts 20 and release thereof closes the valve 34 untilmore powder is required. The razor is used in the conventional manner,turning the cap 58 to expose each individual blade as desired.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that a complete unitarycombination shaving brush, soap dispenser and razor has been providedwherein the shaving operation is expedited, and

A an outfit provided which Will save space While travelling.

It is to be understood that modifications and changes may be resorted towhere the combination and arrangement of parts are concerned providedsuch modifications and changes fall within the purview of the inventionand the claim appended thereto.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desiredto be secured by Letters Patent is:

A device of the character described, comprising a tubular handle adaptedto contain shaving powder, said handle having an internally threadedshoulder at one end thereof, a conical shaped discharge nozzle at theopposite end thereof, a hexagonally shaped nut having a dependingexternally threaded portion adapted to be threadably mounted in saidshoulder, an outwardly and downwardly inclined flange formed on said nutexteriorly of said handle, a medial recess in said nut, a conicalapertured projection in said recess, a valve actuating rod in saidprojection having a conical shaped valve on the end thereof within saidnozzle, a knob on said rod for controlling said valve, a compressionspring on said projection engaging said knob to force said valve intoclosed position, an externally threaded upwardly projecting portionsurrounding said recess, a plate on said portion of substantially thesame shape as said nut, a second plate on said first plate for holdingsaid first plate in close contact With said nut and a second nut on saidsec- 0nd plate engaging said upwardly projecting portion to retain saidplate in xed relation to said first plate, the :plates onsaid nutsdecreasing in circumference to permit a better gripping surface for saidnut in the removal thereof.
